Latest Release

Automated release updates.

v2026.10.17

Traffic-Light Hymn Access Status Indicators (Lyrics → View → Export): Replaced the generic share-button access icon in hymn lists with a 3-tier traffic-light status system (Lyrics with document icon & theme-harmonized Rose/Coral, View with eye icon & theme-harmonized Amber/Gold, and Export with document-download icon & theme-harmonized Emerald Green), keeping catalog and list rows as compact icon-only badges while displaying the short tier label (Lyrics, View, Export) alongside the icon on Hymn Details and the Access Breakdown header across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Android.
Store Metadata & Asset Best Practices CI (2026 Standards): Added a unified metadata/ directory containing complete store listings, Google Play Data Safety declarations, Apple Privacy Manifest and Nutrition Label disclosures, StoreKit 2/RevenueCat subscription configurations, and EU DSA compliance filings, updated native screenshot generation to include the mandatory iPhone Dynamic Island medium display resolution (1179 × 2556 px), and upgraded the screenshots CI workflow (.gitea/workflows/screenshots.yml) with automated zero-alpha checks, 8 MB file size limits, and multi-device dimension verifications.

v2026.10.16

Instant Mobile Web List Sync & Direct Cloud Write-Through: Added a fast server-assisted user_data bucket sync endpoint (GET /v1/users/me/lists-sync) that streams only the signed-in user's 3#user_data PowerSync bucket (skipping the 41 MB library_data catalog stream) and enriches list items from the server's in-memory catalog in ~130ms, added direct HTTP write-through to /api/powersync-upload for all list and list-item mutations so edits persist immediately across mobile MPA page navigations even before WASM SQLite finishes initializing, and added server-backed catalog search and portion lookup fallbacks (GET /v1/catalog/lookup).
Zero-Flash Web Hymn Lists & Sync Stability: Eliminated hymn list, list item, and hymn-detail containing-list flashing during background PowerSync checkpoints across iOS Safari, Android Chrome, Samsung Internet, Firefox, and desktop browsers by persisting local list/item snapshots (hfw_cached_user_lists_v2, hfw_cached_list_items_v2) with full portions and nullable metadata fidelity, debouncing SQLite watch streams, deduplicating status ticks, and comparing list/item snapshots structurally before re-rendering.
Self-Healing Cloud Sync & Safe One-Tap Cache Recovery: Added automatic PocketBase JWT refresh and retry on HTTP 401/403 inside HttpPowerSyncConnector (fetchCredentials and uploadData), a poisoned CRUD row circuit breaker, automatic migration of both local_guest lists and list items (user_lists, user_list_items, and pending ps_crud entries) to the signed-in user, browser lifecycle (visibilitychange, pageshow bfcache, online) sync resumption, and one-tap Sync Now / Repair Sync & Clear Stale Cache controls that preserve pending offline list edits so users never need to clear browser data or re-sign in manually.
PWA Service Worker, Custom List Slide Presentation & Mobile Responsiveness: Added a versioned PWA Service Worker (/sw.js) with automatic old-cache cleanup, strict no-store cache headers on .dart.js, powersync_db.worker.js, sqlite3.wasm, and manifest.json, PWA home-screen quick shortcuts, custom list-item stanza selection (customParts) in live slide presentation, Screen Wake Lock (navigator.wakeLock) during hymn presentation, top-layer <output popover="manual"> toast notifications, and mobile viewport/safe-area/input-zoom refinements.

v2026.10.14

Automated release updates.

v2026.10.13

Hymn List Fast-Scroll & Thumbnail Performance (iOS & Android): Eliminated main-thread synchronous file checks and full-resolution image decompression during hymn list scrolling by indexing downloaded title slides in memory (O(1) lookup), adding a 25ms fast-scroll settle debounce on off-screen rows, and downsampling thumbnails on background threads via ImageIO (CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex) on iOS and BitmapFactory on Android.
List Details Hymn Item Editor Enhancements (iOS & Android): Added a Change Hymn picker (search by hymn number or title) and a Reset to Default Parts Order button to the hymn item edit sheet on List Details across both iOS and Android.
Smooth Present Mode Slide Transitions (iOS & Android): Pre-decoded and pre-warmed neighboring slide bitmaps in the background (HfwSlideStageImageView on iOS and hfwPrewarmSlideBitmaps on Android), added sequence-hashed slide caching for custom list part sequences, and pre-warmed combined list presentations automatically when opening or editing a list.
iOS Sheet Music Pinch-to-Zoom & 2D Panning: Replaced the SwiftUI MagnificationGesture branch-swapping view with a hardware-accelerated UIKit UIScrollView (HfwZoomScrollView) supporting smooth focal-point pinch-to-zoom (1.0x–4.0x), double-tap zoom at the tap point, 2D panning, and automatic coordination with multi-page swipe navigation.
Web Custom Lists Loading & Sync Reliability: Fixed custom hymn lists and list items not loading on the web when hfw_user_id is missing from localStorage or while PowerSync is initializing/syncing in the background, added JWT user ID recovery, eliminated duplicate PowerSync reconnect races on startup, and added a PocketBase REST API fallback with bounded query timeouts.
iOS Floating Bottom Search Bar & Tap Target Handling: Restored the floating glass bottom search and filter bar over scrolling lists on iOS while preserving reliable UIKit tap handling for the filter, clear search, and add-list buttons.
Mobile Cold-Start Initialization Fix: Resolved a cold-start initialization race condition and premature 0 Results state before the local catalog database finishes opening.

v2026.10.12

Native iOS & iPadOS App (SwiftUI + iOS 26 Liquid Glass): Rebuilt the iOS and iPadOS user interface in 100% native SwiftUI using iOS 26 Liquid Glass APIs (glassEffect, GlassEffectContainer, role-based Search tab, floating glass capsules, native Form grouped Profile settings, and TabViewBottomAccessory mini-player).
Native Android App (Jetpack Compose + Material 3 Expressive): Rebuilt the Android user interface in 100% native Jetpack Compose with Material 3 Expressive (MaterialExpressiveTheme, MotionScheme.expressive() spring physics, dynamic color support, segmented connected controls, and expressive tonal surfaces).
Headless Flutter Shared Engine & Pigeon Bridge: Unified business logic, offline-first SQLite + PowerSync sync, authentication, RevenueCat subscriptions, and audio playback in a headless Flutter engine connected via a type-safe Pigeon bridge (hfw_native_bridge.dart).
Adaptive Tablet & iPadOS Layouts: Added multi-column split-view navigation (NavigationSplitView on iPadOS, dual-pane adaptive rail + detail view on Android tablets/foldables), hardware keyboard shortcuts (⌘1–⌘4, ⌘F, Space), hover effects, and context menus.
Automated Multi-Layer Test Suites & Test Track Readiness: Added Dart bridge unit tests, Android JVM & Compose UI instrumentation tests, iOS XCTest suites, Android adaptive launcher icons, and updated App Store Connect / TestFlight & Google Play metadata.
